Aluminum window structure

ABSTRACT

The present invention is a kind of joint structure in the aluminum window, and in particular is designed for the awning typed aluminum window. It is mainly to design an internally laid joint plate with a simple structure to joint the window frames together directly. It is different from the prior art that needs to add an additional externally laid and large sized joint plate to joint the adjacent window frames. It is not only achieve the purposes of the large scaled material saving and also have the outside appearance of the whole aluminum window become more concise and not too disordered.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Please refer to those shown in FIGS. 1, 2 that are structure forms ofordinary awning typed aluminum window. It mainly joints the glass frames20 with the window frames 10 inwardly. While in practical application,this kind of aluminum windows often are set by adopting the forms ofside by side or top-down-left-right similar as the glass window curtain.And, the ordinary joint assembling method is to further form a joint barplate 13 on the vertical frame plate 11 and horizontal frame plate 12 ofthe window frame 10. While the window frames 10 are left-right side byside assembled, an out laid vertical joint frame plate 30 is formed byjointing the joint bars 13 on the vertical frame plates 11 of these twowindow frames 10 as a whole. While the window frames 10 adopt thetop-down joint assembling, a horizontal joint frame plate 40 is used byjointing the joint bars 13 on the horizontal vertical frame plates 12 ofthese two window frames 10 together as a whole. Such set up not onlyrequires the extra joint bar 13, but have also the larger volume in thesaid vertical and horizontal joint frame plates 30, 40. Relatively, theused aluminum material becomes more thus increases the cost. At the sametime, because the out laid joint method in the said vertical andhorizontal joint plates 30, 40 is adopted, a complex sense of disorderhas been created in the whole outside appearance of frames afterassembling. This kind of assembling design is thus not an ideal one.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is to provide a kind of technology improvement inthe aluminum window structure, and in particular is for the awning typedaluminum window, such that the improved aluminum window structure canachieve not only the large scaled material saving but also increase thesense of beauty in the outside appearance of the window frames afterjoint assembling. The characteristics and effects of the presentinvention will be described hereafter in conjunction with the drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Please refer to FIG. 3. The major design point of the present inventionis in the vertical/horizontal frame plates 11, 12 of the window frame.Simultaneously, an internally laid joint plate 50 is designed. The saidvertical/horizontal frame plates 11, 12 have the same structural designwith a sliding support bar 111, 121 formed in the center of the outsideplate surface of the frame plates 111, 121. And, a joint groove 112, 122is formed separately on the plate surfaces in two sides of the slidingsupport bar 111, 121. A support sliding rail 51 is formed in the centerof the positive and negative plate surfaces of the joint plate 50, andjoint bars 52 are formed separately on the plate surfaces located in twosides of the supporting slide rail 51 matched with the joint groove 112,122 at relative locations. And, an accommodating groove 53 is separatelyformed on the front and back end faces of the joint plate. Through theconjugation between the supporting slide bar 51, joint bar 52 in thejoint plate 50, and the sliding support bar 111, joint groove 112, 122in the vertical and horizontal frames 11, 12, these two frames 10 can bejointly assembled as a whole in the left and right manner or top anddown manner. And the joint plate 50 can be hidden between these twojointed frames.

Please refer to those shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. The present embodiment isdescribed with assembly of the vertical frame 11 and the joint plate 50in the frame 10. The said supporting slide rail 51 has adopted a V typeddesign, and the joint bar 52 has adopted a two-tailed inward hooking andV formed design (it can also be a T formed or circular opening cut orother forms which can perform a clip-sleeve joint, and are not shownhere), and the sliding support bar 111 in the vertical frame 11 has alsoa V form. And, the joint groove bar 112 also has the same two-tailedinward hooking V form and the inside groove dimension as those of thejoint bar 52. While joint assembling, each joint bar 52 in the saidjoint plate 50 is sleeved into the relative joint groove bar 112 fromupper or lower ends of the vertical frame plate 11 to form a sleeve-fitbetween the joint bar 52 and the joint groove bar 112. And, the slidingsupport bar 111 has stayed a close contact with the supporting sliderail 51 then slide-pushed those to joint assemble these two windowframes together as a whole, and the joint plate 50 can be internallylaid and hidden between these two jointed frames. While the frames areabout to be joint assembled by a top and down manner, it can becompleted by using the same manner of joint assembly between the jointplate 50 and the horizontal frame plate 12 of the window frame 10.

Please refer to those shown in FIG. 7 which is an implement method tofurther prevent the rain from outdoor from leaking into the indoorspace, such that a leak proof rubber bar 60 can be separately set in theaccommodating grooves 53 located on the front and back end faces of thejoint plate 50 to have a complete close in the joint locations betweenframes. Through the above assembly structure, the cost required for themutual joint assembling of this kind of awning window frames is greatlyreduced and the outside appearance of the whole aluminum window afterjoint assembling become more concise and not too disordered.

1-2. (canceled)
 3. A joint structure for aluminum windows comprising: afirst vertical frame plate having a first side provided with two jointgrooves, and a sliding support bar arranged at a center of said firstside and between said first joint grooves; a second vertical frame platehaving a first side provided with two second joint grooves, and asliding support bar arranged at a center of said first side and betweensaid two joint grooves; and a joint plate having two sides each providedwith two joint bars and a support sliding rail between said two jointbars, each of said joint bars being adapted to engage with a respectiveone of said joint grooves, said support sliding rail being adapted toengage with said sliding support bar, said joint plate having two endseach provided with an accommodating groove; and a leak proof rubberfitted in said accommodating groove; wherein when said first verticalframe plate is engaged with said joint plate which is then engaged withsaid second vertical frame plate, said joint plate will be hiddenbetween said first and second vertical frame plates.
